News:

Good day, denizens of OC.net! Per our tradition, the forum will shut down for Clean Monday, beginning around 9pm Sunday evening (2/18) and ending around 9pm Monday evening (2/19). In the spirit of the coming Forgiveness Sunday, I ask you to forgive me for the sins I have committed against you. At the end of Great and Holy Week, the Forum will also shut down for Holy Friday and Holy Saturday (times TBA).

Lord have mercy.Yesterday, in my college when I came out of class into a hall, they had a gay "Coming Out" festival in the lounge/stage that I passed by and they had booths of all these different gay organizations and clubs, including one booth hosted by the United "Church" of Christ, which, in case you didn't know, is a liberal church that actually endorses homosexuality and abortion. I didn't participate, I just walked past by the festival without saying a word. My college actually hosts and supports a local gay pride parade. That night, I quietly prayed to God about the moral decline in our society, particularly in America. Please pray that God has mercy on our boldly godless society, which is getting worse by the day. And pray that the Lord may open their hearts.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? Who can watch the watchmen?"No one is paying attention to your post reports"Why do posters that claim to have me blocked keep sending me pms and responding to my posts? That makes no sense.

Eghhhh! I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw the rainbow pop up on my screen and all this excitement. Really?

When's the last time we celebrated anything like this?

Conquer evil men by your gentle kindness, and make zealous men wonder at your goodness. Put the lover of legality to shame by your compassion. With the afflicted be afflicted in mind. Love all men, but keep distant from all men.—St. Isaac of Syria

My college is public. On one hand, this means they won't openly support weird stuff, on the other, it means people are free to support the weirdest stuff there. Some communists would ravage all the university during municipal elections period screaming command words, there are pro-abortionist campaigns in the main hall and there are even lectures about witchcraft (probably practice too, in the "ecumenical chapel"). A certain professor from my former college (also public) openly called for shooting and burying conservatives on a congress. Lord have mercy.

However, as soon as some evangelicals started handing out a paper called "More Bible, less Constitution" (which was a rather careful selection of news involving the Judiciary making evil stuff), people were denouncing and shunning them. When a polemical international conservative thinker came from for a lecture there, people were physically menacing the attendants and they had to hold the door. I guess free speech isn't for everyone...

Well, some of the schools around here just celebrated a mass murdering rapist on Monday.

Who?

Oh. He was not a rapist, one of his companions described himself raping a native woman but there's no way to say Columbus himself ever knew that. He was a fervent Catholic who saw the natives as innocent children needing catechesis, even if opposers would have to be taken down for what he thought to be common good. Hardly sex objects.
